ZIMBABWE: TORTURE, DEATH, STRIKES---AMERICAN BLACKS PAY NO ATTENTION

Like Poland against the Russians? Zimbabwe's main opposition group says that one of its members has died after being tortured by police officials and soldiers. Tichaona Kaguru was taken away from the house of a Movement for Democratic Change councillor in Harare, and later died in a city center hospital, the MDC says.

The police have arrested more than 300 MDC supporters and officials during this week's strike, intended to drive President Robert Mugabe out of power. Mugabe is claiming all these black guys who are risking their lives are just "fronting" for white farmers. Right! Police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena was quoted by The Associated Press as telling state television that at least 300 opposition officials, activists and supporters had been arrested since the strike began Monday. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai's lawyers were in court Tuesday fighting state prosecutors' attempts to have imposed tighter bail conditions in connection with his treason trial. Adding 2PM PDT One more person beated to death in front of hundreds by cops who like to do this stuff in public. Patients kidnapped from hospitals by cops while they scremed for help. All businessmen threatened with death if they don't reopen their shops. Foreign businessmen told to leave the country. For a taste of how ineffective UN "Troops" are in The Congo right next door click HERE . The French, who are supposed to be there, haven't arrived yet. Perhaps they surrendered in Paris to save airfare.

This is THE big story around the world, everywhere but here. If Mugabe wins this it will be to our shame.
